The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey and Genius Squad

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous JourneyTrenton Lee Stewart and Catherine Jinks

Like all sequels to excellent books, these two YA titles are a teeny bit of a letdown – primarily because they aren’t the first book. Both take a few chapters to hit their stride, Genius Squad more so. However, I had no complaints by a third of the way through both. Satisfying reads for any age. Definitely read the first books before starting either of these.
